Exciting couple of months of development with the chevvy. She has been pretty much put together as far as she can go before going to paint...here are a few shots of the million and one little bits that have been worked on recently...

...And here are a few shots of the exterior! -Was so exciting to see her like this-she has not been this intact in nearly three years! Have said it before but the quality and sheer amount of work done by steve and the guys at old bones has been beyond incredible. every single dent, warp or flaw in the body work has been completely worked out and repaired and as amazing as these pictures look they still dont do justice to the hours and hours of amazing work the guys have put into it!

At this point its all ready to be stripped back down for the body panels to go off to be painted and the finishing touches made to the chasis!

A few shots of the chevvy stripped back down to the bare bones. Body panels have gone of to be finished and painted. The chasis has been tidied up, reinforced and finishing touches added, is now ready to go off to be powder coated!

It has been a long time since i have updated this thread. and with the truck project nearing completion i thought i would try and bring it up to date! -The last post was back in May 16. At that point the body work went off to a body work specialist/painter. Unfortunately we had a bit of an issue with chosen company, and the body work largely lay untouched for the rest of the year. However Steve at old bones pushed on preparing the chassis, mounting the engine, suspension rear diff, new automatic transmission, custom exhaust etc. I have attached some pictures to this post to show some of the work going on at this stage.

As mentioned we had a bit of an issue with the company that was supposed to be doing the body work from may 16. Unfortunately after six frustrating months, they had done very little of the work they quoted would take three so we decided to pull the job back from them (If i have learned one thing from this process it is that if you are getting people to do the work for you, do your research and be very careful, it seems there are a lot of cowboys out there)

Thankfully once again we were rescued by the guys at Old bones who around this time had just moved to a new premises and were now offering an in house body work/paint service, with some incredibly talented staff. so they quickly set about catching up on lost time. Attached are some pictures of the finishing to the panels prepping for paint.

The last few month (may-sept 17) really have been incredible, the guys at old bones have been throwing a scary amount of hour at the project but as a result we are really starting to see it come together here are some more development shots (up to july august time)

and some more progress shots, these ones include the arrival of the new bench seats and interior lining fresh from the trimmers! we had the seats made slightly thinner than the originals to make a tiny bit more room in the cab.

So as mentioned before the amount of work the guys at old bones have put into this the last few months in a bid to get it finished as actually astonishing. we tried to grab as many pictures as we could, but in all honesty these just do not come close to showing just what work has gone into this truck so far...

To at least try and give you an idea of how much work has gone into this however, Steve very Kindly sent across this list of work that has been carried out on the truck recently! .................

Literally every single aspect of this truck has been lovingly built to the highest of quality by these guys and they have not cut a single corner, and am so excited to see it all come together hopefully in the next few weeks!
